Moving to the UK I was terrified by the thought that I would be left without my tribe – my beloved girls. Those with whom I shared the days, every emotional typhoon, every dream, every success and failure, every stupid purchase and every Thursday night at the Beach Bar downtown. Sometimes I get attached so deeply to people that separation hurts like a physical wound from a natural birth. At the very beginning I was frequently flying to Sofia. I used to spend lots of time in all types of social media where we were active with the girls, throwing remote feasts sipping our coffee together early…

MY 8 TOUGH THRUTHS ABOUT LIFE
It has so many storms, tides and shades of blue. Catches you like a wave, raises you high up to the heavens, then for a moment throws you at the bottom, lifts you up again and shows you the beauty of the sunrise. It resembles the ocean – an unabated storm in which you shall fully immerse yourself in order to live truly. That’s life. Or at least my own. A life in which thoughts become words, words become actions, actions become habits, habits – character, and finally character turns into fate.

Perfumes have appeared more than 4,000 years ago. In the beginning, their mixing was considered a magical process, which in its essence more resembled cooking.
